Will Safari 20SG control/prevent Elm Leaf Beetle?

I have a customer who has 2- 50 ft tall Siberian or American Elms on her property, I would rather apply Safari as a basal trunk application than to apply a foliar application due to the potential for drift. Aslo, the uptake timing is approx. 2-3 weeks? thx.

Answer:

Yes, Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide with Dinotefuran is labeled for leaf beetles and can be used as a basal system application by spacing injections evenly around trunk no more than 12" out from the base. Safari 20SG Systemic Insecticide with Dinotefuran is a super systemic with a faster uptake that normally takes about 3 weeks to translocate.
